3 V0 f6 G! P8 v) g, Q* B! F6 G1 f Toward heaven still,6 Y! a# ^: L" u" |: z
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill4 |! G$ ?9 O) P" d! n+ P1 H2 ^
Beside it, and there may be two or three

* t( Q' y- z, Y, L6 `$ w1 [) h& P But I am done with apple-picking now.
8 {! c( R" Q) {: o Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
P' j j* i9 i) d The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.5 z7 j, H# O# p* B) @
I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight8 j, ~' i8 Y" c
I got from looking through a pane of glass% S/ l" G- G7 y+ r! m' H
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
* _0 B% l! L0 X0 q9 F4 G6 q And held against the world of hoary grass.6 i _3 t# q- z! o7 h
It melted, and I let it fall and break.% w! _1 s; k V1 x
But I was well
& U+ a+ h5 Z1 m1 p. e# | Upon my way to sleep before it fell," j1 q4 M& w2 I M
And I could tell
8 c# J. ^. W9 f, Q0 J& Q# W8 p What form my dreaming was about to take.
; H2 [% J: S# i3 h0 d# f Magnified apples appear and disappear,
) |( F( U# I) t! Q9 |$ _ K4 r Stem end and blossom end,, N5 u& r. B! o, k% R3 R- l3 D; J
And every fleck of russet showing clear.

4 N9 M' O" I `: P4 D" F It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.1 ?5 w6 C( L9 H/ t2 \; j
I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend.
; g+ D- W6 J+ ?7 c And I keep hearing from the cellar bin
! {3 N4 U; t$ r3 T$ V$ ]* E The rumbling sound5 w! ~7 f: p. `; v* o4 T7 ~' _
Of load on load of apples coming in.
, U b; S5 ?3 N& j/ U/ n. n/ H For I have had too much( c' Q3 [2 @; A# Q, f: y" e% G
Of apple-picking: I am overtired

3 X% b, |- W0 Q# a+ V$ j There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch," N2 E, f2 D+ G
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.9 @) h# G2 Y. N
For all

4 N5 }3 Y3 s' }/ P No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,
Z! n7 E8 ?2 C Went surely to the cider-apple heap
/ V6 K* O8 U' A8 x' m As of no worth.

This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.% Z* m% A( ]7 \! M w3 q$ j
Were he not gone,
1 u& P" P% m1 `6 f6 M The woodchuck could say whether it's like his: [% W6 n* s& B% k K. M3 G
Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,7 Z3 S3 F r [) r
Or just some human sleep.
